Status Sheet Description
You can tell several things about the printer's settings by just looking at the
print, without reading any of it. First (and obviously) the printer is
operating.
Second, the page is printed in
the portrait
orientation. That is,
the printing runs on the page the way portraits are usually painted, higher
than they are wide. When the printed area is wider than it is high, the
orientation is referred to as
landscape.
If the printer is set for landscape
orientation, the sample is printed that way.
First Two Pages: The first part of the four status sheet pages is divided into
three sections. The top section summarizes your printer's basic configura-
tion, identifying the version of its operating system and specifying the
amount of total RAM (memory) and the amount of RAM available for your
use. If your printer has an optional RAM expansion board, its memory size
will also be listed here.
The middle portion of the page summarizes the type fonts available and
gives samples of each. First it lists the fonts that come with the printer,
giving the name of the typeface, such as
Courier
its width (pitch)
10.0
height (point)
12.0
and darkness as printed (weight)
Medium
After identifying the font, for instance
8U
-
it gives a sample of its upper and lower case letters, symbols, and numbers
*_

If you have installed optional font cartridges, the same information will be
.
given for each one.
